Includes: - Tactical evaluation - Tactical Field Care - Care under fire Care Under Fire - Correct Answer-combat medical personnel and their units are under effective hostile fire and are very limited in the care they can provide. In essence, only those lifesaving interventions that must be performed immediately are undertaken during this phase. Tactical Field Care - Correct Answer-medical personnel and their casualties are no longer under effective hostile fire and medical personnel can provide more extensive patient care. In this phase, interventions directed at other life-threatening conditions, as well as resuscitation and other measures to increase the comfort of the patient may be performed. Physicians and physician assistants at battalion aid stations or during tailgate medicine support also provide advanced trauma management. Tactical Evaluation Phase - Correct Answer-casualties are being transported to a medical treatment facility (MTF) by an aircraft or vehicle and there is an opportunity to provide additional medical personnel and equipment to maintain the interventions already performed and to be prepared to deal with the potential for the patient's condition to change during the tactical evacuation Casualty evacuation - Correct Answer-unregulated movement of casualties using predesignated or opportune tactical or logistic aircraft and vehicles. These vehicles/rotary-wing aircraft are not staffed with medical personnel for en route care (unless augmentation is planned for in the operation plan [OPLAN]). These vehicles/aircraft do not have organic medical equipment. If the combat medic is not available to provide care en route, the combat lifesaver may accompany the casualties to monitor their condition.
